“I just wanted to thank you again for giving me a spot in the Master Gardener course.  We had a graduation ceremony last night and I will be an official Master Gardener once I complete my 40 volunteer hours!  It was a really great experience and each class was loaded with information.

I really appreciate it!” said Provensal.
